Three “mini-games” give players additional word puzzles to solve, with their level of success determining the number and strength of extra potions and power-up tiles they’ll take with them as they advance from one “chapter” of the game to the next. Various potions and treasures provide Lex with added power, defense and dozens of other automatic and one-time abilities to help him defeat the legions of bad guys standing between him and the safety of his beloved Cassandra and the safety of The Great Library. Making longer and more complex words gives Lex greater fighting prowess and generates special letter tiles with special power-up effects of their own. From Dracula, the Wolf-man and other famous monsters to legendary Greek, Egyptian and Arabian tales, Lex explores many great works of fiction and takes on scores of enemies, all with their own unique characteristics and powers.

In the new sequel, players fully take on the role of Lex the bookworm – leading him through a series of well-known books and fictional characters which Lex must overcome by forming words from an ever-changing set of letter tiles. The original Bookworm, introduced in 2002, garnered numerous accolades and has become the best-selling digital word puzzle game of all time, available for Web, PC, Mac, Gameboy, even in-flight on leading airlines. The feedback we’ve received from beta testers has been overwhelm-ingly positive and indicates a high level of ‘replayability,’ which is always a major goal for us.” “This may be the first word game ever to be truly character-based, as well as allowing players to customize their special abilities in literally dozens of ways. “Bookworm Adventures is really a new kind of word game, infusing the traditional word-building activity with RPG-style elements and a compelling, humorous storyline that gives the player a great sense of progress and accomplishment,” said Jason Kapalka, Chief Creative Officer of PopCap. Under development for more than two years, Bookworm Adventures is PopCap’s most elaborate and ambitious title to date.
